Sausage Party

8/29/16

Animated food items push an atheist agenda and glorify the
basest forms of carnality in this disgusting spitball of a
comedy from directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan. The
inhabitants of a suburban supermarket - most prominently a
sausage (voice of Seth Rogen) and his girlfriend, a bun
(voice of Kristen Wiig) - believe that a joyful existence
awaits them in "the Great Beyond" once human shoppers, whom
they worship as gods, choose them from the shelves and take
them home. But when a returned jar of honey mustard (voiced
by Danny McBride) reveals how people actually treat their
edibles, it launches the sausage on a quest for the truth. An
insult to believers of every stripe, this libido idolizing
film, whose cast also includes Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and
Salma Hayek, portrays all religion as a con job that leads to
violent divisiveness and sexual repression. Thus the eventual
overthrow of the store's prevailing mythology is celebrated
by a mass orgy that's supposed to count as a happy ending.
